Bremerton underground pipeline repairs complete

BREMERTON — Underground work replacing a 3,000-foot section of Bremerton's crosstown wastewater pipeline has wrapped up, according to Bremerton's Public Works and Utilities Department.

The $2.8 million project replaced a chronically leaky section of the pipeline that moves about 60 percent of the city's wastewater from the west bank of the Port Washington Narrows to the city's West Side Sewer Treatment Plant. The work took place in the area around the 1400 block of Naval Avenue.

The only thing left for crews to do is repair pavement in the areas above the pipeline. That work is expected to wrap up by mid-November.
